some tea party elements tried to oust boehner as speaker earlier this year. eager to avoid another revolt, he joined forces with the tea party last month and demanded that the president's health care law be repealed or delayed as part of a deal to avoid a government shutdown. >> the american people don't want the government shut down and they don't want obamacare. (cheers and applause) >> reporter: but last week, boehner changed course again, dropping his demand that obamacare be part of a deal. >> i don't want anything on the table, i don't want to take anything off the table. >> reporter: this time, the pressure to switch came from mainstream house republicans. boehner had promised them with the debt limit deadline looming that he would not allow the nation to default. if there is a deal in the senate boehner will face a dilemma: he can either allow the house to vote-- which will likely split the republican party in two and create a major backlash from the tea party-- or, scott, he can refuse to allow a vote, which could lead to default. >> pelley: chip rei
